Ferrari 355 and 454 Nova get some.

I was cruisin around and stopped by a golf community when I hear the clear sound of an old carbed chebby accelerating from a stop. I pull out to chase him down, I start to get close and can now see that is a beautiful white 71/72 Nova sporting blue racing strips, mag wheels, a 454 badge and a monster tac. We just happen to catch a light together and the two guys in the car where smiling at me not realizing that they where about to get toasted. The light goes green and I let him get the hit, he gets a fender out the I when I start to come back and pass him by about a car at the top of second. I turned off and he followed me a little but did not want to run again and then turned off.

A little later I was coming around a four lane right hand sweeper and spot a black Ferrari 355. Anyone who knows me knows I don't really care for Ferrari's, so giving this guy a whippin was going to be a treat. I pull up next to him and he will acknowledge me as he is wearing a blue tooth and drinking a starbucks coffee. Again we catch a stop light together and his lane ends, the guy will not look over at me so I rev up to get ready for the green and then hear him rev up as well. I do a little slip of the clutch and just absolutely crushed the 355, by the time I hit third I was pulling hard on him with about an 6 cars lead. Not sure if he was still trying or not but it sure felt good beating up on a Ferrari.

Did your passenger suddenly look over and say, "Smoke'em."? Good kills.

K16/24 turbos, headers, exhaust, stage 4 flash tune. Should be around 575 crank, we don't have an awd dyno in town so that just an honest guess based on tuners results.

Yes sir 911, I don't think I've ever seen an AWD rx7.

What is your TT rated at from the factory anyways? Since I can never consider affording one, I never paid much attention to them.

How many bones do they go for? Roughly?

Stock 1/4 times?

415 with the k16 and 450 with the k24's a factory option. Best stock was 11.9 done by motor trend but most are low to mid 12's. I ran a 12.5 with exhaust at our slow *** local track. My car new was $132k but you can pick them up all day for 75'ish.

New exhaust is about 2k and headers are about 1k, used about half that.

Oooh sweet Porsche! If you're ever in Miami you should do some pulls against my GXL!

You just can't use your first 4 gears. Lets do this from a dig!
